Given the expensive investment of real estate, building products need to meet the long-term needs of users, stabilising the value and lifecycle of the building.

Ensure the future of your design with durable materials

When executing a renovation or new build project, there are a lot of concerns that need to be considered. It is important that a building’s materials meet the design requirements of the project now and in the future.

Value for money

Building products need to meet the long-term needs of users, without expensive upkeep due to maintenance or repair, as well as create a healthy indoor climate. Demand for such functionality, reliability and durability are key performances of a desirable product.

With the expensive investment of real estate, many developers are becoming critical of the products they choose, constructing with the buildings total cost in mind. Developers are motivated to stabilise the property value and extend a buildings lifecycle. According to DODGE Data & Analytics, "Smart Market Report 2016", investing in the long-term needs of building users yields tangible results that can positively affect several stages within a building's lifecycle; be it leasing, leaseholder retention, operational costs and property sale.

Durable building materials

Choosing durable building materials means building with the total cost in mind. This helps us choose quality products that will not leave building materials looking used and it will safeguard the visual design of a room, while contributing to a more sustainable future. “The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten” Benjamin Franklin.

Appropriate cleaning and disinfection of building materials are proven methods for reducing and controlling infections. Choosing building materials that can be regularly cleaned and don’t contribute to the spread of microorganisms can have a big impact on the indoor environment and the building user.

Aesthetics & design

Sound absorption

The quality of sound absorption is determined by the layout of the space and the materials within it. Increasing speech intelligibility and how we experience sound can make a remarkable difference to our indoor environment.

Sound insulation

Reducing the level of distraction and the harmful effects of noise, while still creating a flexible, private and engaging environment, can be a challenge. Our dB products combine the benefits of great sound insulation and superior sound absorption.

Light reflection & light diffusion

Light is vital to basic human functioning and has a huge influence on both our psychological and physiological condition. With the proper use of light reflecting materials, you can create bright comfortable spaces for a building's occupants.

Fire

People expect their homes, work places, schools and hospitals to be safe. The use of non-combustible materials in a building do not contribute to spread of fire and buys valuable time for occupants to safely evacuate the building.

To help offset environmentally impactful practice linked to the building industry, waste material projects and technologies, like upcycling, are being implemented to return used materials into products with commercial value.
